Spring is my favourite season. After the long, grey months of winter, I do a little happy dance when I see the flowers and buds. If you've read any of my blog for the past few months, this comes as no surprise.
The winter here's cold and bitter
It's chilled us to the bone
We haven't seen the sun for weeks
~ Sarah McLachlan, "Full of Grace"

The theme for this April's Gratitude Journal was "renewal," and I've been looking for pictures that really show that. Looking at the other photos in the Flickr group, I've seen full-grown flowers and roses from other group members. Meanwhile, I've slipped into our garden every so often and snapped a pic, but none of them really looked truly awakened until I got back from my business trip this week.
While I was gone, Ottawa awoke.
I'm so happy finally to feel like spring is happening here.
Definitely spring! It's so refreshing after the cold, gray winter. I love the flowers, the warm air, the smells, the reminder that everything is still alive (including myself!). And pretty much any season beats Georgia summer!
